Our new Italian Untour Director Amber Martin recently returned from a visit to all six of our Italian UnTours. It was the only one of our Untour areas where she had not spent time before. Here she shares her first impressions of the Amalfi Coast. The very moment I stepped off the bus in Amalfi,…
All of us on the UnTours team have been here for 20 or more years, which is a good thing, given how knowledge intensive our work in Europe is. So when Andi Cancelliere Sheehan, our Italian Untour Director for 25 years, left our staff during COVID, it was hard to imagine how to fill those…
…And we’re back! Italy was the first country in Europe to shut down, so it felt particularly satisfying and a little poetic that it was one of our first countries to welcome Untourists this summer. The Lorenzis and the Moormans were our first guests in Italy, the first Untourists to return to Italy since 2019….
Happy Earth Day! Anyone who follows UnTours knows that we are more than simple tree huggers around here. We are a B Corp, undergoing a regular certification that verifies our ecological business practices. We run on solar power, compost lunch scraps, print double-sided to save paper, and buy carbon offsets for staff travel and commutes….
Here at UnTours HQ, we live for this sort of thing. After all the work and planning, we love to know our guests are having fun. So our new UnTours Photo Contest has brought us pure joy. For much of spring and summer, we have received brilliant photos from Europe, each reflecting the joy, wit,…

Jerry and Deena Koffler have traveled with UnTours at least 18 times, taking more than one trip in some years. Whether they find themselves Untouring in Italy or cruising on an UnTours Venture, the Kofflers always have a good time and eat well. As they love good food and scenery, it is no surprise they fell…
The Amalfi Coast is a place of dramatic beauty, of pastel villages built into cliffs and hillsides overlooking sandy beaches and shining sea. Anyone who has taken our Amalfi Coast Untour will tell you about its natural beauty. But one thing that surprises some travelers to the region is the quality of the local cuisine!…
At UnTours we’re big believers in slow travel. What is slow travel? It’s slowing down, staying among the locals, spending more than just a few days (maybe even a few weeks), and immersing yourself in the local culture and ways. With travel becoming more accessible to more people than ever before, traveling to small European…
When we say UnTours are based in apartments, that can be a little misleading. They may actually be cottages, farm houses, or any other dwelling characteristic of a unique region in Europe. To that end, here are a few of our favorites. 1. Playing Princess: in Sommersdorf, Germany For so many years I thought the…
